#E30 Is Cryopreservation A Second Chance At Life, With Max More
"People who say 'Why should you live longer? That's not normal.' Go back a little bit. It was normal to die at 20 or 30, or 40 at best. So why is today's lifespan exactly right? That's obviously nonsense."
On this episode of HYPERSCALE, I am joined by Dr. Max More, one of the founders of the modern philosophy of transhumanism, co-founder of the Extropy Institute, an organization crucial in building the transhumanist movement since 1990, and Ambassador and President Emeritus of the Alcor Life Extension Foundation, one of the largest cryonics facilities in the world.
Dr. Max is an internationally acclaimed strategic futurist who writes, speaks, and organizes events about the fundamental challenges of emerging technologies. Max is concerned that our rapidly developing technological capabilities are racing far ahead of our standard ways of thinking about future possibilities. His work aims to improve our ability to anticipate, adapt to, and shape the future for the better.
Drawing on philosophy, economics, cognitive and social psychology, management theory, and other fields, he develops solutions and strategies for minimizing the dangers of progress and maximizing the benefits we stand to reap, especially when it comes to extending our lifespan beyond our current understanding, what he dubs the "status quo bias."
Tune in as we pick the brain of one of the most renowned transhumanists of our time.
